Robert Leuenhagen Obituary
Private services will be held at a later date.
Bob was born Apr. 18, 1928 in Osmond, Nebraska. He came to Alaska in 1964. He worked in carpentry, then got a job with the Alaska State Housing Authority building houses in the Bush for the self-help program. He loved it out there and went onto different villages, finishing and moving the people in their new homes.
In 1978, he moved to Kenai and started Leuenhagen Drywall and Painting. He loved working for individual families. He had a hand in homes built from Homer to Cooper Landing. No job was ever too small from a patch job, a single wall, to complete homes. He loved helping people and never met a person he didn't like. He worked until his 80s and had to quit due to health issues, not because he wanted to, but because he had to.
Bob enjoyed fishing, camping and anything to do with outdoors.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his wife, Margaret of Kenai; sons, Larry of Reno, Nev. and Gary of Prescott, Ariz.; and a daughter, Patricia of Hilo, Hawaii.

Arrangements were by Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai.
